I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for the talent He has bestowed on all of us!
I have been artistic all of my life and love experimenting with different mediums and techniques. This blog is my creative outlet to share my passion for cardmaking and papercrafting!

Again, if you have not stopped by either challenge site yet, I
hope you will find the time to do so- terrific inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Open a blank document in My Digital Studio (MDS), position the
Postage Due image (reducing a bit) along with the Word Play image onto the page (leaving enough space between them for the paper bow and "ribbon") and print out using Black Printer Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.

Color the image using Stampin’ Write Markers- Strawberry Slush
for the flower petals, Wild Wasabi for the leaves and Smoky Slate for the
shadows around the bicycle, postmark, number and flower.

Trim the panel and create the rounded corners using the 2 ½”
Circle Punch (hold the punch upside down so you can see the opening that the
punch creates, insert the corner of the cardstock into the punch until the
curve matches the edges on both sides and punch; repeat on the other side). Sand the curves using the Sanding Block to
help smooth the edges.

Add a strip of Basic Black in the center (to mimic the ribbon)
along with the Basic Black bow created with the Bow Builder Punch and adhere
the Antique Brad in the center of the bow (I removed the brad points and
adhered with glue).

Add the Rhinestones to the upper left hand corner and lower
right hand area to finish off the card.
